The best part about brats like Penny Barber is that you never need to look for reasons to beat their fucking asses. They are always trying to push your buttons, just to pretend like they have some kind of power over you.

Penny's mistake is that she thinks she can win mind games against Cyd Black. He doesn't give a fuck about what she has to say. Her chit-chat and playful bullshit aren't going to distract him. If anything they will just get him to hit her harder. And really, Penny isn't very good at pretending that isn't what she wants.
